America is overweight. More than two-thirds of American adults are obese or overweight, that is according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

It is not surprising when people who are obese lose a hundred pounds they make the news. In 1999 Jared Fogle lost 245 lbs., he made the news, shortly thereafter became a Subway spokesperson and in 2015 was sentenced to 15 years in jail for soliciting sex with a minor and possession of child pornography.

Thanks to Bear the porn-sniffing labrador retriever who helped police find where Jared Fogle was hiding his stash of child pornography photos and videos.
